Robert Bork Dies at 85

I recall that buffoon Senator from Alabama, Howell Heflin, asking him, Bork, about his beard during the SC confirmation hearings. He also asked Bork if he was an atheist. Two questions that would never be asked on an application for 7-11. That Lion (Lush) of the Senate, Ted Kennedy also berated Bork minutes after his nomination became known.

Re: Robert Bork Dies at 85

The only reason anyone cares about Bork is that he was a divisive nominee for the Supreme Court. To talk about his record and express disagreement with it is perfectly reasonable imo. If you step into the public light, you should expect criticism of your record. Einzige did not engage in ad homs, which I agree would be off base in an obit, much like the lush comments about Kennedy, immediately after his death.

The morality of abortion is not a religious belief, any more than the morality of slavery, apartheid, rape, larceny, murder or arson is a religious belief. These are norms of the natural law of mankind and can be legislated even in a completely religionless society.

Kennedy was a lush. He only ran his car off a bridge into a river allowing a woman to die because he was a lush coward.

Apparently Kennedy thought this namesake (and an attempt to hide the fact he was a lush) was more more important than a human life...

People can disagree with ones politics all they like but what Kennedy did was cowardice. The report of the incident made it quite clear Teddy Boy didn't even try to save that woman (Mary Jo Kopechne).

With that said, "Teddy Boy" gets what he deserves... He was nothing more than an elitist punk who road his brothers (and father) coattails into a position of power via namesake.
